Is the correct answer re. FAA, by a substantial margin in favour of the US.
Tootle pip!!
PS 1:
FAA Airman Certification Standards, --- have just replaced the Practical Test Standards, literally in the last few weeks. Really only a bureaucratic name change.
PS2: FAR penalties are there, all listed in a separate FAR --- more to the point, pro rata to AU, FAA prosecutions and even administrative penalties are rare, compared to here.
Although I never personally checked the figures, it was claimed, several years ago, that in the subject year of the study, there were more enforcement actions with some form of penalty in Australia, than in US, despite roughly ten times as many pilots in US.
